Met up in the moonlight
Hopped the graveyard fence
Interlaced our fingers as we walked among the dead
Placed pennies on the stones that read out Bruce and Brandon Lee
Then took a little detour
To say hello to Pete
Hi
There was comfort in the localism
Quite as the grave
I listened to your breathing and I knew that we were safe
Mused about the afterlife and laws of energy
And I thought death felt much more manageable with you next to me
Hi
Then you pointed out the gravestones that were mass-produced by Sears
Tried to make the names out that were taken by the years
We made our great escape
Your pants got caught upon the fence
And you dangled there hilariously
We shared our second kiss
Hi
Love and death walk hand in hand
Mister Ebo Taylor said it best
Love and only love is waiting
On the other side
When we separate the resting from the rest
There was a picture of a gravestone that I longed to see for real
An old familiar name carved on a stone stuck in a field
It's eight thousand kilometers away just ask the crows
Can't afford that plane ticket
I'll see you in-
Who knows?
Hi
And there's an old dog lying next to me
Known him as a pup
Followed me from room to room until we both grew up
He's deaf and blind and beautiful
Now sleeping on the coach
Won't be there forever; all the more to love him now
Hi
One day I'll be ash
Or one day I'll be bones
One day I'll be memories
Or maybe I'll be songs
I'm currently a body
But courtesy of the clock
One day I'll be letters
Carved on to a rock
Visit me regardless
I'll miss you if I can
I'll dissipate, disintegrate
And visit you as sand
Look for me in everything and find me where you can
I'll be reaching out from everywhere
With boney fingers take me by them
Love and death walk hand in hand
One peculiar couple, wouldn't you say?
One without the other
Is a game without its stakes
There's no winning and no losing anyway
Love and death walk hand in hand
Mister Ebo Taylor said it best
Love and only love is waiting
On the other side
When we separate the resting from the rest
